wherein R is the residue of an a(primary)amino monocarboxylic acid, H N--R-COOH, which contains only one primary amino group,

therapeutically acceptable acid addition salts of said compounds (I), intermediates in the synthesis of said compounds (I) and processes for preparing any of the aforesaid compounds.

The primary u-amino acid, H RCOOH, is one wherein R is more specifically defined as wherein each of R and R is, independently, either hydrogen (H); lower alkyl, e.g. methyl, isopropyl and butyl; hydroxy(lower)alkyl, e.g. a-hydroxyethyl; (lower)- alkyl-thio-(lower)alkyl, e.g. methyl thioethyl; phenyl- (lower)alkyl, e.g. benzyl; substituted benzyl wherein the substituents comprise hydroxy (-OH), bromine (Br) and/or iodine (I) and are directly bound to a ring carbon atom, e.g. m.p.-dihydroxylbenzy1; indolyl(lower alkyl, e.g. 3-indolylmethyl; imidazole(lower)alkyl, e.g. 4 (or 5)-imidazolemethyl; or phenyl.

Alternatively, R and R are, together, either a saturated, e.g. pentamethylene, or an ethylenically unsaturated, e.g. pentadienyl-l,3, hydrocarbon chain of from 2 to 8 carbon atoms.

starting from compound (III), of which the titled compound (h) of Example 4 is exemplary, compound (VI) is produced by conventional hydrogenation with a platinu-m catalyst. However, if only one molar equivalent of hydrogen is reacted, only the ring double bond is reduced to product compound (VIII). By a reaction comparable to (F) compound (VIII) is converted to compound (IX) which, upon further conventional hydrogenation, is transformed to compound (X). Reacting compound (X) with a halide, R 2, permits substitution on the remaining secondary nitrogen, i.e. the 4-position. Alternatively, treating compound (HI) with a mixture of hydrobromie and acetic acids (see Example 5) results in splitting oil. the carbobenzoxy group without destroying the ring double bond, thus producing compound (I). The reaction of compound (I) with a halide, R 2, results in the substitution of R in the 4-position (compound XI). Con ventional hydrogenation of compound (XI) reduces the ring double bond to produce compound (XII), which, by a reaction comparable to (F), is converted into compound (XIII).

The following table (B) identifies specific compounds falling within the scope of various classes of compounds disclosed in the above-presented reaction schemes:
